To all whom iti'may concern: Be it known that I, JoHN' RENDALI a the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Supports for Sinks, &c., of

.which the following is a' specification.

My invention relates to supports for sinks,

wash-tubs and the like', the object. being to provide an adjustable bracket 'su ported upon a leg which is-horizontally adjustable along said bracket with regard to sustaining the weightjplaced upon it, thepresent invention being produced by castings only withoutany machine or tool. labor.

In so called ":I-Fflats and tenements in large cities, the sinks'and tubs require to be securelyfastened and well supported to withstand the severe use they get from transitory tenants. Legs fastened to sinks and projecting in front are usuallyknocked out of place and brackets are pulled fromtheir fastening. when any great weight is 111i) on the front edges I providea cheap bracket combined with a leg, entirelymade of cast iron or other suitable' cast metahthe patterhs being so arranged that theydraw from the sand mold and so that the castings do not require any drillin'g'or other machin; mg. 1

The accompanying drawingshows my iniproyeinent, Figure 1 being a side elevanon partly in section. Fig.2 isa plan view ,of' the sa1ne'and Fig..3 is an enlarged per? spective view of the head or'top of the leg, sowing details.

Similar reference characters indicate like parts inthe several. views. 7

' The, bracketis cornpo'sed of the-wall sec-'1 tion 1 having a longitudinal slot 2 running along part of its length: two fingers?) at the rear end forma'slo't for the-passage of a screw 4: a raised portion 5 a ords a rear rest for the sink 6. The front section, 7, of

the bracket consists of a. casting-havin a longitudinal slot. 8 running along part of its length,'said slot aliningwith the slot 2 in the wall sect-ion. A small raisedpa-rt 9 affords a front rest for the sink, the free end ofthe bracket turning up to form a jaw 10 or abutment which rests against the sink and holds it in place.

The leg 11 is cast U-shape in crosssection,

the opening being towards the rear: at the head or top an integral oblong boss 12 pro- "what I claim as new and jectsto enter the slots 2, 8, and act as a guide; A screw bolt and nut 13 of suitable size passes through the two slots in the bracket and also into a slot formed by two fingers 14.' At the foot two fingers 15 are may be used. The leg is fastened to floor at a suitable point, the two sections of bracket are placed on the leg, a screw bolt passed through the two slots,'the nut being backed ofi enough to permit the screw to enter the slot ofthe leg; the wall section is thenscrewed into 130- I \sition and the sinkor tub is placed on the bracket, which is horizontally adjusted so that the awfirmly presses against the front of the sink or tub, when the nut is tightened, this single action holding all the parts together, and whereverIt-he leg may stand, it

will always support the double thickness'or two sections of the bracket where they overlap eachother'. Having thus fully described my'inventio'n, desire to secure by Letters Patent is big ledge at its rear and said ad 'ustab tion having. at its front a supporting ledge and a clamping jaw, each of said sections furthermore provided with a longitudinally extending slot, one arranged over the other,

an adjustable leg having a head formed with a vertically extending guide piece projecting into said slots and further formed with a. pair'of fingers, and means extending through and engaging said sections and extending between said fingers and engaging said head for securing the leg to the bracket and for securing sections of the bracket together.

. s5, '1. A- support for sinks comprising" a; bracket formed of a fixed section, said fixed section having a supporte secand an adjustable 2. A support for sinks comprising a I bracket formed of a fixed and an adjustable section, saidfixed section having a support- 'ing ledge at its rear and said'adjustable sec .tion having at its front a supporting ledge and a clamping jaw, each of said sections. furthermoreprovided with a longitudinally extending slot, one arranged over the other,

an adjustable leg having a head formed with 110 a vertically extending guide piece projecting into said slots and further formed with a securing sections of the bracket together,

said leg at its bottom provided with a pair of fingers, adapted to receive means extending through and engaging said fingers 1 for fixedly securing the leg in an upright position.

Signed at New York city in the county of New York and State of New York this 25th day of February A; D. 1908.
